February 2018 General Meeting
After the February general meeting, Jim Sushetski gave a tech presentation on foam cutting. Using his custom built foam cutter, he demonstrated how to cut wing ribs using a template and foam from a meat tray. His foam cutter is similar to a scroll saw except there is a hot wire rather than a cutting blade. A modified computer power supply is used to heat the chrome alloy wire. Thanks Jim for the interesting demo tonight!
A sample of two ribs is shown below. With the spar in place, the example was very sturdy and lighweight. Also, notice the blue wheel which Jim sliced off in seconds--they are very light weight and perfect for indoor flyers.
If you have something you would like to demonstrate during an upcoming general meeting, contact Muryl and he can schedule you in.
2018 Frozen Fingers
Bragging rights for 2018 for first flight of the year goes to Muryl Marler as he and a few of us endured the -27 degree C weather at first light at Bremner Field.
Happy New Year everyone !!!!!
No meeting December 27th
Sorry for the confusion but there is NO meeting tonight.
Annual Election Results

The New ERCS Website is Here!
You are now connected to... the new ERCS website. It looks a lot like the old website, but underneath the hood it will be easier to maintain which means it will be easier to post timely information. There is some content from the old website that still needs to be moved here, that will happen over the next while.
If you need something from the old website, you can access it using the link on the left side of the page.
